Pros

They're a big name in the federal government contracting arena in Washington, DC.

Cons

Everything else. They have an especially heavy presence with Department of Defense agencies, therefore, they focus on putting older white males in charge who they believe will be better able to relate to the DOD. This isn't the worst strategy in the world but many of these guys know absolutely ZERO about managing projects and leading and motivating teams of civilian workers. Outside of this, the women they tend to put in front of the DOD staff are young(ish), cute (sometimes dumb) blondes. The rest of us had to stay in the bullpen area quiet, out of sight, and ready to sacrifice ourselves to do the last minute grunt work that the cutie pies didn't want to do. Needless to say, I didn't last very long.

Pros

Strong mission-focused culture with meaningful work supporting national security missions. Great exposure to diverse projects, talented teammates, flexible work arrangements, and opportunities to develop skills across security, intelligence, cyber, and consulting. Benefits and professional development resources are solid.

Cons

The company culture and employee experience have changed significantly in recent years. Earlier years felt more mission-focused and employee-centered, while recent organizational shifts, government spending pressures, and increased emphasis on becoming a technology-focused company have created uncertainty for some employees. Frequent changes in priorities, restructuring, and business decisions can make job stability feel less predictable. Employees may sometimes feel disconnected from leadership, and concerns raised through HR or management channels do not always appear to result in meaningful action or transparency.
